Julie's here for the first time joining us in Smarthistory and we're going to talk about this really cool photograph that I really love.발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] He's was an actual reporter, an actual journalist who was roving around mostly in Germany and in big cities like Berlin.발음듣기
대기중
The photomontage is by this amazing German artist, Otto Umbehr, who went by the name "Umbo".발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] We're going to call him Umbo because that's the fly name that he chose, so he just went by Umbo.발음듣기
대기중
Umbo created this photomontage and really it relates both directly to the kind of journalist that Kisch was and that he was roving around and he was frantically seeking new information.발음듣기
대기중
It also relates to this idea that we're totally informed by the technologies of our own era.발음듣기
대기중
I think it's just fascinating to look at all these modern technologies that create this journalist, that make up him.발음듣기
대기중
[Beth] And really kind of dominated the way people were interacting with the world, just like we are so involved with the internet and chatting and IM ... (crosstalk).발음듣기
대기중
[Steven] But the word you used a moment ago, dominating, is perfect because this is a giant who's striving over the city.발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] Well, he has all of these sort of, they're enhanced appendages and sensory abilities, so you can see the camera lens makes up his right eye and he has the phonograph speaker as his ear. He hears better than anyone else.발음듣기
대기중
[Steven] It's so interesting because in the '20s is really when popular comic figures were with sort of expanded powers, right?발음듣기
대기중
It reminds of walking texting now with your phone because he's actually typing as he's trying to get over the mountains and the crowd below.발음듣기
대기중
[Steven] That's really interesting because now of course, in a popular press, there's all these fears about people spending too much time on their Blackberries, too much time on their computers, and I mean this is very true.발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] It's kind of a monstrous figure with this technology and I think it's also like he's heroic and that he's huge and enormous and he has all these enhanced sensory abilities like a super hero, got super powers, but he's also really a menacing.발음듣기
대기중
[Beth] Yeah, like the people, the veterans coming back and images by George Gross, the wounded war veterans. (crosstalk)발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] The Krieg's cripple is there were the war cripple and that was just this huge symbolic and literal figure that came into the German, and many landscapes, but especially all across Germany, there were 4 million new wounded war veterans that were all of sudden -발음듣기
대기중
The technologies of the war totally changed the way people relate to their own bodies and the way that they relate to other people's bodies.발음듣기
대기중
This really isn't a good association because Germany lost the war, so they're not looked on as heroic figures, they're the veterans who lost, they lost their limbs.발음듣기
대기중
[Steven] But that's been reversed here because even though there's a menace and there's a negative aspect to some extent, there's also real promise here and sense of power.발음듣기
대기중
The parts of his face that are not obscured are still really quite handsome and there's a very positive aspect here as well.발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] Sort of trying to reclaim technology as something that offers promise, optimism, hope and things that help progress.발음듣기
대기중
[Julie] It's actually interestingly, a few years after desperation, things are better in Germany ...발음듣기
대기중
Through the early '20s, things were still in recovery, but by the mid '20s, things were getting better and I think in large part due to things like industrial -발음듣기
대기중
[Beth] I'm wondering if people looking at this and seeing the camera by his eye, would have thought of those images of gas masks during the war.발음듣기
대기중
I think artists that looked at it that were interested in seeing new kinds of image making, new vision photography, received it really well.발음듣기
대기중
That's also kind of relating to the idea of modern technology and reproduction, so the images reproduce, it's rephotographed, [Beth] Made from photographs.발음듣기
대기중
For me one of the really interesting things is the idea of the speed ad technology everything kind of coming together.발음듣기
대기중
The journalist is exploring things and looking all around him, it's almost like he can see everything at once and technology is what's enabling him to do that.발음듣기
대기중
[Steven] But I think also the reinsertion of the power of the journalist is probably a really important issue at this moment.발음듣기
